| I leased a 2004 honda accord ex v6 in may of 2004, from rick case in miramar fl. on august 31, 2005, i had to have my o ring discharge line replaced, due to leaking power steering fluid and noise. then, on april 3, 2006 i had to have my entire radio/cd player changed out due to led not working and both back window motors replaced due to loud noise and rolling down slowly. in july 2006, i relocated to atlanta, ga and purchased this vehicle via retail (transferred the title) in august 2007. then, november 9, 2007, i had to have the power steering pump replaced due to leaking fluids and a loud noise. today is august 6, 2009 and i am again having the same power steering issues!! other problems that i am currently having with my car: had to get my battery changed august 9, 2007; window motor problems with both my front seat windows; internal lights not working on transmission gear-shift, over-head light. i am so unhappy with this honda purchase as i thought that they were known for their longevity, especially since i have been the only owner and got the car brand new. the main thing is i need answers or directions as to what my next step. please advise, thank you. i am still making payments on this car!! updated 08/07/09.*jb | |||

| The display light for my radio, lights for hvac system slowly dimmed and eventually went out. took the 2004 honda accord ex to a local dealer with an appointment and a full description of the problem. after they performed their troubleshooting i was informed that a chip for the radio failed. thankfully they were holding the component for another customer who had not come back for the repair and the next day the display lights were repaired. *tr | |||

| Stereo stopped working completely and has been draining the battery, even when the car is off. the battery has a 5 year warranty, but had to be replaced after only 3 years. after a mechanical diagnostic, it was determined that power is going to the stereo, but the stereo is not working. specific cause for malfunction has still not been determined. *tr | |||

| I bought my honda accord in oct. 2004 @ 34000 miles and the display light went out in about 3 weeks. i was driving the car and as i pulled up to park the radio display light just went black. the radio still works but display light is out. in the sunlight you can see the screen but very dim. i called honda to schedule a repair and when i described the problem, they said usually in the case, it's an internal problem and they would have to replace the whole unit. when i asked if this was a common problem, i was told no. i went online to search to see if there are similar problems listed and found that a lot of people have had the same problem. *nm | |||
